I once heard that casting a spell on a player who is synthesizing such as Cure, Protect, Shell, etc. can cause the synthesis to fail and all items will be lost. I guess with /blockaid that can be prevented, but before the update, was this true?

Re: Can aid spells fail a synthesis?
yes it would cause an automatic failure.
Thanks Yyg! -
Re: Can aid spells fail a synthesis?
You can no longer cast on people that are synthing. But yes before they fixed it you would fail. It happened to me more than a few times by the ah in San. Some new mage would want to work up his spells by casting on random people.Originally posted by FebaOriginally posted by TaskmageOriginally posted by DakAttackComment

That must have been a good way to go around greifing...Especially in Jeuno where the higher levels craft.Comment

Re: Can aid spells fail a synthesis?
that's why they add /blockaid command... you know, material for some syn can cost up to a couple ten millions. It's beyond griefing seriously.
there are occasionally players just hanging around guilds interupting ppl purposedly just for fun. I'm just so glad they add a command to block such thing.Last edited by Jei; 08-06-2005, 12:17 AM.There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,

Re: Can aid spells fail a synthesis?
It's not possible with spells anymore, but the old ship zone, or getting hit will auto fail.
/blockaid if you're paranoid though. Though that's not what /blockaid is for...it's more for the HNMLS-ness drama we have.Comment

Re: Can aid spells fail a synthesis?
it's still possible kuu. you can't start the cast while a person is synthing, but you can start cast right before they syn. I had it happen to me all the time.There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,

Re: Can aid spells fail a synthesis?
Not sure about that.. an example that comes to mind for me wasOriginally posted by Jei
I casted teleport on the group, the person didn't see it due to spam, and crafted after I started casting.
He didn't get auto fail, as the spell just skimmed over him.Comment

Re: Can aid spells fail a synthesis?
I often got cure 1 and protect in sandoria. by players *purposedly* breaking my syn. Sometimes they can be really predictable, low level chars running after you in town. Sure enough, as soon as I trick them with /heal, they cast spell on me asap.

Re: Can aid spells fail a synthesis?
As I stated before, it's not possible. I just tested it with someone. This was fixed a long time ago. As soon as they start synthing, the spell will not go off. And if the spell is near completion, they can not synth till it goes off.Originally posted by FebaOriginally posted by TaskmageOriginally posted by DakAttackComment

Re: Can aid spells fail a synthesis?
Didnt a patch fix this a while back so that while you are casting it interrupts your cast? The only way i can see this is that if they time it so you cast right when you press ok so you are already in synthing mode while they are in casting motion.Comment

Re: Can aid spells fail a synthesis?
Those of you saying that it didn't work before just didn't test hard enough. Ask any fisherman who has woodworking levelled and a Lu Shang;s Fishing Rod. They'll tell you the truth - it was, and still is, occasionally possible to break a synth with a spellcasting animation. The timing has to be pretty precise - too early and your spell interrupts, too late and your spell doesn't finish casting, but it can indeed happen.
With this update, /blockaid to be safe and disband from any parties you are in to be truly safe.
